Farewell to Cologne Modeste: Participating in the Champions League is my dream


The German giants Dortmund officially announced recently that the club signed the 34 -year-old center Modeste from Cologne, and the player from France also sent a long message to Cologne through his personal social media to say goodbye and express his gratitude.


Modeste wrote in the article, "To Cologne, I know this day will come, but I don't know when or how. In my heart, I have always hoped that this day will come. The later the better, why not end my career in Cologne? But the reality in football is that you can never control your destiny."


“I will never forget the 7 years here, the day I signed with Cologne was the day my child was born, and I will always remember it in my heart. We have experienced laughter, tears, joy and sadness for 7 years . Everything makes me love Cologne even more. I will always be the biggest supporter of Cologne, Cologne will always be so special to me."


Modeste also said, "Many people clearly know that I did not leave for money, and I also rejected higher offers from the Gulf countries, but it has always been my dream to participate in the Champions League, and now this opportunity has finally come, And I don't think this opportunity will come again."


"Thank you for everything in Cologne, to all the leaders I've worked with, and to the staff who have always supported me by my side."


Modeste also said, "I want to thank my teammates, without you, I would not be able to achieve what I am now. I also sincerely thank my dear fans, you are part of the core of this club, without you , it all becomes meaningless."

On the other hand, Cologne will wear the number 20 jersey after joining Dortmund.
